Just a PSA for anyone having a problem finding that they have a different style wheel bearing nut on their spindle.

There was a several month limited interim production run for the 1996 model and it had a "acorn" type nut and a different spindle.   The regular "castle type" socket will not remove the nut.

I spent 3 days trying to figure it out and none of the forums mentioned and none of the 4x4 guys around here knew about it.

The nut requires a 2 1/2 inch socket.  The only place I found one was Pep Boys.   Other places carried them, just none in stock.

I added a pic of the one I finally used.
